just for reference, ive had my HIDs in my ss for about 3 years and in my denali for about 3 months now. About about halfway when i had them in my SS, my one bulb would flicker. i tried another ballast i had and it was just the bulb, so i bought the 14k bulbs i have now. I am not concerned with my ballasts. I am not running aftermarket ballasts though, i originally had the full setup from a 2001 benz s600,.. bulbs, ballast, ignitor. thats the bulb that went bad., but those ballasts are still working great. I have an audi ballast and buld for my Ninja that i need to find time to install.
And with HIDs technically the bulbs should never burn out becaus eits not buring a filimant, just a gas gets "excited" and lights up. Bulbs go bad from impact, oil residue, touching etc. My original bulbs were from a bodyshop and the benz headlight took a hit which most likely caused that bulb to later fail.
